  • Ensuring the television is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
  • Not placing the television on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television to a suitable support.
  • Not standing the televisions on cloth or other materials placed between the television and supporting furniture.
  • Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television or its controls.

Precautions

Viewing the TV

Some people may experience discomfort (such as eye strain, fatigue, or nausea) when using this product. Sony recommends that all viewers take regular breaks while watching 3D video images or playing stereoscopic 3D games. The length and frequency of necessary breaks will vary from person to person. You must decide what works best. If you experience any discomfort, you should stop using this product and watching the 3D video images until the discomfort ends; consult a doctor if you believe necessary. You should also review (i) the instruction manual of your television, as well as any other device or media used with your television and (ii) Sony website for the latest information. The vision of young children (especially those under six years old) is still under development. Consult your doctor (such as a pediatrician or eye doctor) before allowing young children to watch 3D video images or play stereoscopic 3D games. Adults should supervise young children to ensure they follow the recommendations listed above.

  • You should only use this product for watching 3D video images on a compatible Sony television.
  • Watch the TV from a distance of more than three times the TV's screen height.
  • Avoid eye injury with the tip of the temple arms.
  • Be careful not to pinch your fingers in the hinges when bending the temple arms. • View the TV in moderate light, as viewing the TV in poor light or during long period of time, strains your eyes.
  • When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid excessive levels, as hearing damage may result.

LCD Screen

  • Although the LCD screen is made with high-precision technology and 99.99% or more of the pixels are effective, black dots may appear or bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen. This is a structural property of the LCD screen and is not a malfunction.
  • Do not push or scratch the front filter, or place objects on top of this TV set. The image may be uneven or the LCD screen may be damaged.
  • If this TV set is used in a cold place, a smear may occur in the picture or the picture may become dark. This does not indicate a failure. These phenomena disappear as the temperature rises.
  • Ghosting may occur when still pictures are displayed continuously. It may disappear after a few moments.
  • The screen and cabinet get warm when this TV set is in use. This is not a malfunction.
  • The LCD screen contains a small amount of liquid crystal. Some fluorescent tubes used in this TV set also contain mercury (except for LED backlight LCD TV). Follow your local ordinances and regulations for disposal.

Handling and cleaning the screen surface/cabinet of the TV set

Be sure to unplug the AC power cord connected to the TV set from the mains socket before cleaning.

To avoid material degradation or screen coating degradation, observe the following precautions.

  • To remove dust from the screen surface/cabinet, wipe gently with a soft cloth. If dust is persistent, wipe with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted mild detergent solution.
  • Do not spray water or detergent directly on the TV set. It may drip to the bottom of the screen or exterior parts, and may cause a malfunction.
  • Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or maintaining prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl materials may result in damage to the screen surface and cabinet material.
  • Periodic vacuuming of the ventilation openings is recommended to ensure proper ventilation.
  • When adjusting the angle of the TV set, move it slowly so as to prevent the TV set from moving or slipping off from its table stand.

Optional Equipment
